YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio took the stand for six hours this week in a civil-rights lawsuit accusing him of using racial profiling to target undocumented immigrants in Arizona. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund filed the lawsuit on behalf of residents targeted at traffic stops for detention, despite having a valid visa and identification. As Arpaio testified, four undocumented immigrants were arrested outside the courthouse for blocking an intersection and had immigration detainers placed on them in jail. One now faces deportation. We speak with Carlos Garcia, organizer with the Arrest Arpaio Not the People Campaign and Puente Arizona. Later this month he will participate in the "No Papers No Fear" bus tour with undocumented immigrant activists. Its final stop will be the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina.
